Introduction by Nancy Kobrin, author of The Banality of Suicide Terrorism: The Naked Truth About the Psychology of Islamic Suicide Bombing[1]

When
I first read about Nicolai Sennels work concerning therapy, which he
had conducted with criminal Muslims in Denmark, I knew that it would be
groundbreaking. I hope that you the reader will listen closely to what
he has to say.

I
also had the opportunity to conduct prison interviews of Muslim
detainees, which were not interrogations. Minneapolis has the largest
diaspora of Somali Muslims outside of Mogadishu, and there was an
overload in the county jail. I was trying to decide if I wanted to draw
up a research project. Pressured for time and with too many other
responsibilities plus receiving a death threat during one of the
interviews, I decided against it.

Like
Sennels, I came away with a similar sense that Western law enforcement
and the general public did not understand why there was so much crime in
the Muslim population. And why there has been this problem of jail
house converts to Islam who then become radicalized through contact with
other criminal Muslims during incarceration.

Islam
is the perfect religion to give justification for those who feel under
attack and to maintain the eternal victim" fantasy. Islam is also
higher than Christianity because it comes last in co-opting the
revelations of Sinai and the New Testament. What a perfect receptacle
for projecting hatred. Islam incites, encourages and permits hatred of
the Jew and Jihad. Its perfect for a fragile personality that has the
need to hate and the need to have an enemy.

There are billions of people
out there who share those sentiments and that profile. As an underdog
religion, Islam provides great mass appeal, which even Eric Hoffer, the
author of the True Believer,
noted in 1951. It should come as no surprise that its numbers are
growing. If one has a grievance, Islam will take care of it. Sennels
adeptly outlines the key problems of why Muslims are not able to
integrate into Western culture. What he doesnt say, I shall name. We
are dealing with nothing more than paranoia.

Sennels stresses that the
West must set boundaries because otherwise they will kill you. This kind
of rage is malignant borderline behavior as in serial killing. We
must come to understand such politically incorrect observations as
Sennels does in order to connect the dots concerning criminal Muslims
even though it is brutal. Happy
well-adjusted children do not become suicide bombers nor do they become
criminals.

Let us choose to know what we are dealing with rather than
bury our heads in sand out of terror. Let us meet the challenge straight
on as Sennels has. If the Swedes had intellectual fortitude, Nicolai
Sennels, the Dane, should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for standing
up and proclaiming that the Emperor Has No Clothes. But then again,
that is a Danish tale and the Swedes are left with Ingmar Bergmans
drama. Need I say more?[1]Dr.
